Explore Saint George Island

Come here to relax, swim, and surf along endless strips of sugary white sand beaches and crystal blue waves. Situated between the Gulf of Mexico and the Apalachicola Bay, St. George Island offers all the traditional features of a classic Florida vacation, but it has a special appeal to lovers of nature and the outdoors. At the east end of this barrier island, 1,962 acres of land have been marked off and protected as the Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George Island State Park. The park features picnicking, boating, and swimming areas, winding hiking trails, and rare species of birds and marine animals. Come here to relax and escape, or to explore and experience the natural world.

Here are a few suggestions of things to do on St. George Island:

-Visit the St. George Island Lighthouse: Climb the stairs to the very top of this historic landmark and see the endless ocean from the lighthouse keeper's point of view.

-Go bird watching: See some rare and protected shore birds along the sandy grass flats of St. George Island. Species to look out for include the black skimmer, the willet, and the snowy plover.

-Take a fishing trip: Guided excursions are available, but you can also easily head out alone. Apalachicola Bay and a few other areas here are known for their flounder, sea trout, whiting, and Spanish mackerel.

-Go on a canoeing adventure: Rent a canoe or sea kayak and experience the beauty of the gentle coastline and salt marshes.

-Go hiking in the park: Explore the dunes, shady pine forests, and untouched beaches. Keep an eye out for elusive wildlife like the diamondback terrapin.

When you arrive here, you'll need a place to stay. Find a vacation rental close to the state park or book a condo or villa with beautiful views of the ocean at the north or west end of the Island.

Buyer Beware

The house was reasonably nice and well situated.
The kitchen was well appointed.
On the other hand, it was difficult to contact management to get help
in finding extra plastic bags, etc.
And....the mosquitoes were so bad and I mean really, really bad that
we left a day and a half early. Looking back we should have left even
earlier because it was so hard to get out of the house without being

This was our 3rd year at St George Island,and I have to say the best year not only the weather,but also the house.Great location,and view,close to everything and quiet.The house itself had a few issues,like the dryer stained some of our cloths,and it would be great if the deck furniture was up dated a little like a table for eating on the deck. Also a larger Tv, in the living room. All and all it…

Bohemian Bungalow-Historic St. George Island home, one of the earliest homes on the island. Has been lovingly maintained and updated! Great beach cottage has lots of windows, making this light and bright, with an open floor plan ideal for family fun. Just a short walk to the beach/shopping, restaurants, bike rental, …

VERY unpleasant experience!

When we arrived at Moonlight Bay,there was no heat,when we figured out the heat,we got bed bugs.That is how we ended up at Sandlot. There were 2 of us needing one bed & bath. Resort knew bugs weren't gone.Dana Engles would not adjust our payment.We were very disappointed with her response and with Resort Vacation.

About Saint George Island

Come here to relax, swim, and surf along endless strips of sugary white sand beaches and crystal blue waves. Situated between the Gulf of Mexico and the Apalachicola Bay, St. George Island offers all the traditional features of a classic Florida vacation, but it has a special appeal to lovers of nature and the outdoors. At the east end of this barrier island, 1,962 acres of land have been marked off and protected as the Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George Island State Park. The park features picnicking, boating, and swimming areas, winding hiking trails, and rare species of birds and marine animals. Come here to relax and escape, or to explore and experience the natural world.

Here are a few suggestions of things to do on St. George Island:

-Visit the St. George Island Lighthouse: Climb the stairs to the very top of this historic landmark and see the endless ocean from the lighthouse keeper's point of view.

-Go bird watching: See some rare and protected shore birds along the sandy grass flats of St. George Island. Species to look out for include the black skimmer, the willet, and the snowy plover.

-Take a fishing trip: Guided excursions are available, but you can also easily head out alone. Apalachicola Bay and a few other areas here are known for their flounder, sea trout, whiting, and Spanish mackerel.

-Go on a canoeing adventure: Rent a canoe or sea kayak and experience the beauty of the gentle coastline and salt marshes.

-Go hiking in the park: Explore the dunes, shady pine forests, and untouched beaches. Keep an eye out for elusive wildlife like the diamondback terrapin.

When you arrive here, you'll need a place to stay. Find a vacation rental close to the state park or book a condo or villa with beautiful views of the ocean at the north or west end of the Island.
